Chapter 37: Slaughtered Alive

Lin Xiao dispelled the idea of retreating, because he already had a possible way to defeat this fourth-order earth tarantula, of course, it was only possible.

But Lin Xiao is such a person, as long as there is a glimmer of hope and a slight chance of winning, he will not give up easily, if he doesn't try, if he doesn't work hard, he will never be reconciled.

After a long time of inner conflict, Lin Xiao sighed secretly: "Alas, Lin Xiao, I have lost to you again, if you don't try, you won't give up." Well, let's take a gamble!"

Lin Xiao tiptoed past the cobwebs, crawled to the entrance of the cobweb, and lay down against the stone wall, and then he threw out a large stone in his hand again.

It was too late, but it was too fast, and I saw a black shadow flash in front of me, and the tarantula jumped out like lightning again, and swooped towards the landing point of the stone just now, and of course, it pounced again into the air.

The tarantula that had swooped in the air twice was almost mad, and it hissed wildly in the passage for a while before it came back in a huff, trying to get back into the nest.

It is also the tarantula's instinct to retreat back into its nest, so that it always points its claws and teeth at the enemies that may be hidden outside, and protects its soft belly.

At this time, Lin Xiao was between the spider's nest and the earth-protruding tarantula, and the earth-protruding tarantula was facing away from him and retreating step by step towards the spider's nest.

Getting closer and closer, Lin Xiao held his breath, clutched the sharp short sword tightly in his hand, and lay motionless on the ground.

When the two long hind legs of the tarantula had already retreated into the spider's web, its huge hairy belly was almost touching the tip of Lin Xiao's nose.

"The opportunity is now!" Lin Xiao secretly exclaimed in his heart.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xiao pounced forward, raised the short sword with both hands, and thrust it fiercely into the junction of the chest and abdomen of the tarantula with all his strength.

The junction of the two parts is often the weakest.

Unexpectedly, the thick skin of the terrantic tarantula is unusually tough, and although the short sword is sharp, it is still impenetrable, and the force is deeply concave with the tip of the sword, but it is never broken.

At this critical juncture, Lin Xiao's ruthlessness and brute strength came up again, instead of abandoning the sword and fleeing for his life, he screamed, desperately using all his strength to press the short sword regardless of life and death.

Finally, Lin Xiao felt the pressure in his hand lighten, and the short sword had instantly penetrated deeply into the stomach of the earth-protruding tarantula.

It's a long story, but it only happened for a split second, and it didn't react until the short sword was inserted into the tarantula's body.

The tarantula spun wildly whirling wildly, its eight steel-solid legs swinging rapidly, eager to kill the attacker under its chelicera.

Lin Xiao did not retreat, but advanced, roared, and jumped onto the back of the tarantula with an arrow step.

Arthropods are so limited by their body structure that their teeth and feet can't reach their backs, and the tarantulas are frantic and jumping around in the passages, just trying to throw off their enemies on their backs.

Lin Xiao only felt as if he was driving a flat boat in the middle of the huge waves, and the huge bumpy force was about to lift him away.

In an emergency, Lin Xiao let out a long howl, and the traces of deep madness instantly spread throughout his body.

The madness greatly increased Lin Xiao's strength, his five fingers turned into sharp claws, and his left hand stabbed down fiercely, and the five fingers were deeply inserted into the back armor of the tarantula.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiao's legs tightened, firmly clamping the thinnest waist between the chest and abdomen of the tarantula, and the whole person seemed to grow on it, no matter how crazy it was, it could no longer shake it in the slightest.

Lin Xiao's right hand grabbed reflexively, grasped the hilt of the short sword that was deeply inserted into the body of the Earth Sudden Tarantula, and quickly began to cut.

The sharp pain of being slaughtered alive was like a powerful electric current, which made the terantula completely mad, and it screamed, and its eight long legs stirred the passage into sparks, and the rubble flew sideways. Deep scratches were left on the four walls.

And with each hiss of the tarantula, with its body as the center, countless sharp ground spikes suddenly protruded from the ground, each half a person high, spreading out a distance of more than ten meters.

If there is an enemy within this range, it is very likely that they will be directly pierced through the chest and abdomen, and they will die on the spot.

The tarantula is an earth-attribute magic worm, and the magic beasts, demon birds, and demon insects all have natural powers, similar to human spells, but the general form is relatively simple, but the power will increase with the increase of the level.

All the struggles of the tarantula were to no avail, Lin Xiao's ruthless cutting never stopped for a moment, as the wound became bigger and bigger, the tarantula changed from grasping to trembling, it seemed to feel that its death was coming, and it hissed sadly.

Where it had struggled, the ground was covered with foul-smelling juices that had poured from the growing wounds on its body, taking away its life.

Finally, the huge belly was cut off waist-high, and it fell to the ground with a "horn click".

Having lost its abdomen, the tarantula seemed to have lost a burden, and instead began a new round of violent struggle, stumbling like a headless fly.

Lin Xiao knew that this was just the end of the crossbow, dying, and his legs were still locked on his body.

After about a quarter of an hour, the remnants of the tarantula that had lost its abdomen finally convulsed violently, and its eight legs were like deflated, and they suddenly loosened down, and finally died, this cold-blooded animal is hard-blooded, and it can still toss for a quarter of an hour without a stomach.

Lin Xiao faded into madness, jumped off the spider's back lightly, and with a wave of the sword in his hand, he split the head of the tarantula in the ground, and with a dip of his left hand, he pulled out a crystal nucleus the size of a pigeon's egg, flashing with a faint earthy yellow faint light.

"What is hidden behind this spider's nest?" After putting the crystal nucleus of the earth-protruding tarantula into the spatial ring, Lin Xiao stood up, his eyes blazing.

For the sake of caution, Lin Xiao repeatedly threw several large stones into the spider silk bundle and the spider nest, but there was no reaction, it seemed that there were no other ground tarantulas in this spider nest, so he stepped into the door-sized spider nest entrance with confidence.

As soon as this foot touches the dense thick spider silk that makes up the passage, it can no longer be lifted, and this spider silk is very sticky.

Seeing that his feet couldn't move, Lin Xiao was in a hurry to help with his hands, but even his hands were glued.

As a result, the more he struggled, the more places he was stuck to, it was just touching and sticking, and after tossing for a while, Lin Xiao crawled out of the spider's nest and fell to the ground.

Looking at the immovable spider nest, and then looking at his embarrassed appearance, Lin Xiao really wanted to jump to his feet and scold, this spider silk is a soft thing, but it can be soft and strong, you can't do anything about it.

It seems that it is impossible to break through, and Lin Xiao has no choice but to meditate on this solution.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao remembered that in an episode of the "Global Geography" program, it was said that the natives of a certain island in the South Pacific used a stick to roll up cobwebs until they became a big stone, and when they were on fire, they would become a big pot of flames.

Locals often use it as a torch for night walks or wave it at festivals, and this torch dance has eventually evolved into a famous folk performance in the local tour.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao has a way, it seems that this spider silk is a flammable thing, this is easy to do, we have fire here!

Lin Xiao concentrated for a moment, and a strong bow appeared in his hand to pierce the clouds, and a rocket was already in his other hand.

With a string sound, a rocket shot like lightning into the cobweb.

As soon as the rocket shot into the cobweb, Lin Xiao knew that he had not miscalculated, this spider silk was indeed flammable, but he didn't expect that it would be flammable to such an extent.

I saw that the whole spider's nest was like a pile of cotton soaked in gasoline, and as soon as it touched the rocket, it exploded to the ground.

What is a deflagration? It's more violent than burning, but not as big as an explosion, but it's about the same as an explosion.

The passage was engulfed in flames in an instant, and the suddenly heated air expanded sharply, becoming a terrifying high-temperature shock wave, rushing out of the passage with a bang, and bouncing Lin Xiao back into the previous big cave.

Not to mention how embarrassed Lin Xiao is now, he has a gray face, and his hair has been burned off a lot.

Fortunately, the leather armor on Lin Xiao's body was made of water-attribute silver-horned rhinoceros leather, which was extremely resistant to high temperatures, and was not damaged at all, but his bare limbs were burned in several places, and a string of blisters appeared.

Lin Xiao endured the pain of the burn, regained his spirits, and walked towards the middle passage again.

I saw that all the way were the traces left by the deflagration just now, especially the original spider's nest, and the stone wall was full of burnt black colors.

And the body of the terrapole tarantula, which had lost its abdomen, was still burning spontaneously, emitting bursts of roasting meat.

By the way, I once saw on TV that the indigenous children of the South Pacific like to catch large tarantulas and grill them as a delicacy!

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao also leaned up and cut off a small piece of white, hot spider meat with a dagger and put it in his mouth.

Wow, this taste is really not covered, the entrance is fresh and sweet, the mouth and cheeks are fragrant, and it is much better than roasted lobster meat.

When Lin Xiao tasted this delicacy, he immediately felt hungry in his stomach, and hurriedly extinguished the embers, cut off a large piece of ripe spider meat and ate it.

After a full meal, Lin Xiao cut off a few pieces of spider meat and put them into the space ring, then clapped his hands, stood up contentedly, and continued to explore inside.

It's a pity that this fire also burned all the spider silk, and these spider silks are good things if they are collected.

The four walls of the passage behind are all black because of the charred spider silk adherence, and the fluorescence of the stone cannot be seen through at all, and the more you go, the darker it gets.

This also shows that the depth of this spider's nest just now was greatly beyond Lin Xiao's estimate, maybe a few hundred meters deep.

No wonder there was such a terrible deflagration just now, it turns out that there is so much fuel!

As Lin Xiao walked, he kept finding the sucked dry shells of various poisonous insects, scorpions, centipedes, and even spiders.

After groping his way forward for a few hundred meters in the dark, Lin Xiao finally saw a bright light appear in front of him. Lin Xiao couldn't help but speed up his pace happily, it seems that this phototaxis is not only for insects, but also for humans.
